Wherobots was founded by the original creators of Apache Sedona to build the first fully-managed, highly scalable spatial cloud and analytics platform. Spatial, location-enabled, and satellite imagery data is quickly becoming a critical and valuable source for insights in a broad array of industries, from logistics and insurance to financial or climate tech companies.
Everything in a multi-dimensional space has a spatial element to it. Yet building intelligence of how assets or features of interest perform or change across space and time, was hard. Its hard because data, and traditional big-data engines and cloud products are not optimized for spatial analytics. Solving problems like “where should I place a [thing] to minimize [waste/costs] and optimize profits”, or “what logistical changes can we make to minimize our carbon footprint” were once difficult and costly problems to solve. Wherobots, the Spatial Intelligence Cloud, makes spatial problems easy to solve, at petabyte scale. The planet, and our customers will benefit from Wherobots' role in democratizing spatial intelligence.
